Kevin Gates Responds Following Savannah & LeBron James’ Apparent Reactions To His Comments On Their Marriage
On Sunday, April 20, Gates uploaded a clip via Instagram Reels. In the video, he appeared to be driving while vibing to one of his songs alongside his bae, Brittany Renner. As the clip rolled, the rapper explained that he just wanted to say “one thing.”
“The truth hurts, but it heals,” he said. “And ‘Bron, I love you ’cause you my n***a. And I already know she [Savannah] was [like], ‘Oh, you just gon’ let him talk to me [like that.]’ But behind closed doors, you was like, ‘Good game.’”
Gates went on to seemingly explain that he doesn’t care how his comments may have been perceived by Savannah, as long as LeBron is now “being celebrated.”
“As long as you being celebrated, I don’t care who don’t like me,” he said. “As long as you being celebrated — that’s all I care about ’cause you my n***a and I love you.”

More On The Back & Forth Between Kevin Gates, Savannah & LeBron James & How Dreka Gates Has Reacted — Or NOT
As BlkCosmo previously reported, Kevin Gates threw the internet into a frenzy last week. At the time, he spoke about Savannah James and accused her of having a lack of interest in her husband. Furthermore, Gates even went so far as to say that “white women” show more interest in LeBron James.
In turn, Savannah James apparently caught wind of Gates’ words and seemingly reacted with a throwback clip of Nicki Minaj on livestream, telling fans, “Um, chileeee anyways so!”
Shortly after, LeBron appeared to also throw subtle shade Gates’ way. Furthermore, he took to Instagram to share a photo of himself and Savannah with the caption, “‘Kings don’t concern themselves with the opinions of peasants.’ Where to next Queen?!?! Let’s get it! 👸🏾🖤♾️”
Savannah and LeBron James’ apparent response led to Gates’ sharing his most recent comments. However, amid the fiasco, Dreka Gates has also caught the internet’s attention — but not for sharing her thoughts on the matter, instead, for staying quiet amid it all (including Gates’ apparent new romance with Brittany Renner).
On Sunday, April 20, Dreka Gates shared a post on Instagram with a photo of herself reading in bed.
“Late night reads and my sleep support 🌿,” she wrote in the caption of the post, which also featured the quote. “The healer you have been looking for is your own courage to know and love yourself completely.”
Subsequently, one social media user @__nikie__reacted with, “The level of peace and unbotherness is superb!!!!!❤️❤️ I love this for you!!!!!”
While another user @airline_bae added, “I love how you’re sooo peaceful and UNBOTHERED LOL 😂❤️”
